U.S. finds religious freedom threatened worldwide
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/05/03/religious.freedom/




WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A U.S. government report warned on Wednesday that threats to religious freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan are mounting, and included Washington allies Saudi Arabia and Pakistan among countries "of particular concern" for religious intolerance.

The annual report by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom urged Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to designate 11 nations as "countries of particular concern" for violations of religious freedoms. Those were Burma, North Korea, Eritrea, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Vietnam, Pakistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

(SNIP)

The commission criticized the Bush administration for failing to punish Saudi Arabia for violations listed in last year's report and urged it to take action this year.


Eep.

1. Condi--get some sleep (those circles are not the dancing kind)
and tell shrub to go after China for their human rights violations and their suppression of democracy on the grandest scale.

Oh, that's right, we want to bully a SMALLER country.
